English giant eyes Vasco star, hints he and teammates could earn call-ups 👀

The European football pursuit of forward Rayan gained a new and important chapter this weekend. Tottenham from England, one of the clubs interested in the player, sent scouts to São Januário to observe him in the match against Cruzeiro. Besides the on-field observation, the representatives of the English club sought crucial information from the CBF about the athlete's future in the Brazilian National Team.

English club seeks information about the player from CBF

The information, exclusively revealed by the profile NT Vascaínos, unveils Tottenham's strategy. During the match, the English scouts questioned a CBF member present at the stadium about the possibility of Rayan being called up by Carlo Ancelotti.

The inquiry has a clear reason: playing for the national team is one of the prerequisites for obtaining a work visa for foreign players in the Premier League.

Vasco's "homegrown" has great chances of being called up

The response obtained by Tottenham's representatives was encouraging for their plans. It was mentioned in the conversation that there is a "great chance" of Rayan being called up for the Brazilian National Team in future convocations.

The investigation by NT Vascaínos went further and reported that two other Vasco players are also well-regarded on Ancelotti's radar: the full-back Paulo Henrique and the midfielder Philippe Coutinho.

Therefore, Tottenham's move shows that the interest in the "homegrown" from Colina is real and that the club is already studying ways to facilitate a future transfer.
